Nigel Adkins believes Saints will be inspired by their record St Mary’s support tomorrow.

The club have already announced that the sell-out match will boast the highest gate for a competitive game since they moved to the ground over a decade ago.

The fans that pack in will be desperate to see a comfortable Saints win against relegated Coventry that will ensure a prolonged Premier League promotion party.

And Adkins believes they have a big part to play.

“I get excited about every game and Saturday will be a special one,” he said.

“The supporters have got a role to play.

“There will be 32,000 people and the support will generate a lot of positive energy."
